‘Michael was a decent man and wouldn’t harm a fly’

PEOPLE living in “the village within a city” have expressed their shock at the murder of a 62-year-old taxi driver described as a “nice, quiet man who wouldn’t harm a fly”.

Residents of the Cork suburb of St Luke’s are still trying to come to terms with the brutal killing of hard-working taxi driver Michael Healy, who lived on his own in a bedsit.

He was a regular visitor to Denis and Teresa Hennessy’s shop, a few yards from his home.
